SUMMARY
=======
This article briefly describes the steps to follow when troubleshooting problems
with the Microsoft Mail Gateway to Fax.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Information Required
--------------------
To track or report a problem, you need to know:
- Gateway version
- Model and version of board being used
- Error messages
Isolating the Problem
---------------------
- Try sending a fax using the fax board software. If it doesn't work, the
problem lies with the board. Check the board's configuration.
- If you can send faxes with the fax board software, but not while running the
gateway, find out what error message is being displayed.
- If no error message is displayed and the fax is never sent, the problem could
lie with the actual mailbag being used for fax mail. Check the MBG directory
for file access problems, and check for any other mail-related problems.
A full description of all error messages is in the "Microsoft Mail Gateway to Fax
Administrator's Guide."

4. For the Gammalink board only, compress the queue file by running
GFQRESET.EXE.
